I did one application where I used the PHP session table to tell who was logged on, and which area of the application they were most recently in. One of several flaws, was that I used Kill session to logoff, and that caused them to disappear from any count of users logged on. Course, if they had logged off, then they weren't logged on, but on the other side, users were counted for every session they created, and closing and opening new browser sessions caused them to be counted multiple times, and continue to be counted until session "garbage cleanup" removed their session entries, unless I used the session timestamp in my count algorithm. Session was nice, because if a user was causing a problem, I could kill his session entry, effectively logging him off, forcing him to logon again.

Thanks guys. Between your suggestions, I managed to come up with a solution.
